Good to see Canon addressing the issue. PTP is a standard protocol many other cameras across multiple brands are using it I just hope all camera makers provide updates to their respective products.

FYI - The 80D is listed in this post as one of the cameras with newly-released firmware, but the latest 80D firmware shown on the Canon website is v1.03 dated August 6th, and I've had firmware v1.03 installed on my 80D since it was released back in August.

I think it's only relevant for 7D MkII when you use a WiFi adapter in the SD card slot. Do you?

Apparently the security problem can also arise if you connect the camera via a cable to a PC.

Apparently, Canon only issues the firmware update for cameras with WiFi/Ethernet capabilities (either built-in or available as an add-on hardware).

A cable (USB) connection to an infected PC is probably considered a risk not mitigated by these updates.

V1.13 for the 70D was on the Canon Canada site - the US site still seems to be missing the updates.

How bizarre that the firmware download selector insists you pick a PC operating system to download camera firmware. Dear Canon, the firmware on the camera is independent of the user's computer. Perhaps you were thinking of some utility software for PC vs using the camera's built in ability?

I thought the 77D was affected but it's not listed in the line up as available nor pending.

Yes, every newer model is pending but the people who run the website and the people who program the new camera firmware versions don't seem to talk to each other much.
